This also makes something else important: Adding new items and renewing items. New items from your favorite shop. What was once to the side rather small is now across the top of the page and a little larger. I cannot stress enough how much $0.20 can be worth to you! On a budget? Try just renewing 2 or 3 things a day for a month and see if it doesn't come back to you! Be sure not to list all items at once. Make sure to list or renew no more than 1 item per hour. This will give maximum exposure.
Another thing of great importance is to be liked! Yes, Etsy is a popularity contest! When you post on Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Pinterest, etc. encourage your followers to favorite your shop and items! The more people that see your items the better! I encourage all of you to go to my Tangled Metal Etsy Shop and favorite it right now! /end shameless plug
Explore your new Activity Feed and learn to love it!
I just want to applaud your reasonable attitude to the new activity feed. There is so much hysteria over the look of it - energy better spent on making it work for your shop. My first reaction was not whether I found it appealing to me - my first reaction was "wow my pics are gonna look great, I'd better make sure they are awesome!" Change can be jarring - but the quicker you can find ways to maximize the change to your shop's advantage, the better. No point fighting the tide - learn to surf!
